Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) is publishing new research on Latino views of American Muslims and Islam. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, just under 20% of Americans are Latino, a sizable proportion of the American public. Demographic data from ISPU’s American Muslim Poll finds that 9% of Muslims in the United States are Latino. To better understand the reasons behind the lower levels of Islamophobia, ISPU partnered with IslamInSpanish to explore Latinos’ attitudes about American Muslims and Islam.
